 ok, with `perror(path)` in place I see `.../cell/mapname: Permission
 denied.` Checking in the Windows Task Manager I see that a leftover
 dbf.exe and cmd.exe are still running after v.to.rast has finished.
 If I kill the dbf.exe the cmd.exe goes away too, then r.null seems to
 work. I'm not sure why dbf.exe would have the cell file open, I guess it
 is actually the residual cmd.exe which is doing that. (?)

 Interestingly with r.null I just get the perror() message but not the
 G_warning() from the failed remove(). !?

 we saw this same zombie dbf.exe problem before in #1184. In that case
 Martin discovered `db_close_database_shutdown_driver()` wasn't called. It
 looks like v.to.rast has the same problem: hopefully r50487 (devbr6) fixes
 it.
